Gateway · $40.44/mo (2000 GB transfer)
OVHcloud Gateway L is reasonably priced for a managed gateway with 2 Gbps public network and 2TB transfer, but it faces stiff competition from specialized CDN and networking providers. The main risk is APAC region egress losing free status after mid-2026, which could significantly raise costs for Asia-Pacific users.
Dramatically cheaper entry point at $0.01/mo with 99.9% SLA and per-GB pay-as-you-go pricing for content delivery across major regions.
Caveat: $1/month minimum charge applies even at zero usage, and this is a CDN not a full gateway solution, so workload fit matters.
Offers free within-region private transfer and $0.01/mo cross-region private networking in North America and Europe, with no platform SLA but strong for private inter-region traffic.
Caveat: Cross-region egress to Africa/India reaches $0.12/GB, dedicated IPs cost $3.60/mo extra, and no published SLA; base machine prices vary by region beyond Amsterdam reference rates.
Legacy per-GB overage rate at $0.01/mo with 10TB free allowance and 99.95% SLA, offering better egress economics than OVHcloud for high-volume users.
Caveat: This is a legacy pricing tier; Oracle's 2026 free-egress policy change may alter the competitive landscape, and Block Volume performance and storage are billed separately.
Entry load balancer at $7.49/mo with HTTP/HTTPS/TCP and TLS termination included, 99.9% SLA, and 20TB traffic pool in EU regions.
Caveat: Setup fees on dedicated servers increased significantly in 2026, traffic overage rates vary sharply by region (as low as 0.5-1TB in USA/Singapore), and prices exclude VAT.
Regional load balancer at $10/mo with 100% network uptime SLA and straightforward pricing, simpler than OVHcloud's hidden IPv4 and license surcharges.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location, and Windows licenses are not included in base price.
